#42


The #42 Is it just a number What do u see when u think of the #42 U know what i see when i look at the number 42 obstruction, restriction, all these complication because of segregation But with this one person with all his determination and dedication to prove that one civilization can change a nation and incease everyone expectation on a race but ignorance causes the assumption that a black man playing a sport would lead up more corruption and destruction that increase the eruption But threw all this abomination shown by the white association this man brought hope and open the door for u and I to choice the direction to our destination. This man is Jackie Robinson
